St. Mary’s Church News THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD 10th January 2015 Today, on the feast of the Lord's baptism, Jesus, though he was without sin, made himself one with sinners, with outcasts, with the poor in any way, to bring them God's forgiveness and life. He accepted that difficult mission. At our baptism we have become one with him. Do we too, like him, accept our mission to be good servants of God and people, even when this is a difficult task? After all, we are Jesus' disciples.
